LINCOLN, NE

What $46,292,237 on the Lincoln city field covers

$46,292,237 divided by 123,740 is about $374 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $46,292,237 and 123,740.

Nebraska’s capital sits on this string as a Lancaster County filing city, not as a score of unicameral races. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.

A Lincoln total of $46,292,237 does not absorb Omaha, Bellevue, or Grand Island. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State NE stays on the citation so LINCOLN, NE is not merged with Lincoln, Massachusetts or Lincoln, Illinois. The 123,740 lines and the mean near $374 describe this key only.

Lincoln is a contributor city, not a residency audit

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Lincoln against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed LINCOLN can sit inside $46,292,237.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $46,292,237 and 123,740. If the live Lincoln hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Lincoln’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city LINCOLN, NE total $46,292,237 across 123,740 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Lincoln residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Lincoln’s 123,740 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 123,740 itemized lines for LINCOLN, NE. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $46,292,237.

Does Lincoln’s total include Omaha?

Only if the filer typed LINCOLN. Omaha, Bellevue, and Grand Island are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $46,292,237 is the LINCOLN, NE match. The 123,740 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Lincoln facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $46,292,237 and 123,740 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Nebraska non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $374 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
